Foreign Mercenaries in Iraq get US Citizenship
Truth About Iraqis

May 13, 2006

Remember when former Iraqi Information Minister Saeed Al Sahaf said the "Murtazaqa" (mercenaries) hired by the US military were invading Iraq back in March 2003?

The man sounded ridiculous, especially in his choice for Arabic phrases to describe the situation in Iraq, but, it turns out, he was right about the mercenaries situation.

According to the Pentagon, "US service members, representing 52 countries, were sworn in as U.S. citizens during a ceremony at the Sustainer Theater May 12 near Balad, Iraq. The commander of the 40th Corps Support Group, Col. Jannett Jackson presided over the swearing-in ceremony."

I wonder who else will be giving them ceremonies soon. Iran peut-etre?

It seems the US military can't find homegrown gringos to do the job. I wonder now if the mass graves rumored to have been found filled with men and women donned in US military fatigues is true. At the time, reports in Western Iraq by fighters there said the US military dumped their bodies or flushed them down the rivers because ... well they weren't US citizens.

Which makes me also wonder if the casualties list released by the US military is accurate. Does it include these non-US citizen fighters?

And why are they becoming citizens in Iraq? It's not a US territory, or is it?

Speaking of mercenaries and hired security contractors (murderers), please read up on the bombing of the Imam Ali Al Hadi mosque yesterday. Then check out the name of the resistance group which targeted the foreign murderous contractors.
